The length of a rectangular swimming pool is 4 meters more than 4 times its width.
\n" ); document.write( " The perimeter of the pool is 248 meters.
\n" ); document.write( "What are the length and width of the pool?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The perimeter
\n" ); document.write( "2L + 2W = 248
\n" ); document.write( "simplify, divide by 2
\n" ); document.write( "L + W = 124
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "It says,\"length is 4 meters more than 4 times its width.\" so we can say
\n" ); document.write( "L = 4W + 4
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Replace L with (4W+4) in the simplified perimeter equation, find W:
\n" ); document.write( "(4W+4) + W = 124
\n" ); document.write( "5W = 124 - 4
\n" ); document.write( "5W = 120
\n" ); document.write( "W = \"120%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "W = 24 m is the width
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "I'll let you find L by using the equation L = 4W + 4
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Then check the solutions in the original perimeter equation \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
